Fun episode. I loved that Miruhog, that's a huge accomplishment for an episode to make for me because I've always thought the species was incredibly boring and as useless as every early route Normal-type that isn't Lillipup. This one was so much better than Aloe's and I loved how it was a competent dork or lovable lameass. It totally reminded me of me if I were in Pokemon form. Miruhog was strong and seemed to be better at weight-lifting than Futachimaru and seemed to be just as competent when it came to destroying those obstacles during the test run. Unfortunately Miruhog was held back by its inability to use a ranged Water-type attack to douse fires, instead of this episode being about Miruhog trying to learn Rain Dance or something Miruhog instead sticks to using Sand-Attack which sucks *** at putting out fires. I thought its antics were entertaining, believe it or not. And it was cute too.

I also liked how N seemed to learn a lesson from Hiroto and Miruhog at the end of the day when he says something about Miruhog not wanting/shouldn't be a member of a Rescue Team. Good to see Doryuzu, Mijumaru, and Kibago all do something and Mijumaru not made out to be a joke in what he did. I also loved the mini-team-up between Iris, Miruhog, Doryuzu, and N when Hiroto and the firefighters got trapped and seeing Miruhog save the day. Don't know about the Pururiru. They just sorta felt "there." Liked seeing Futachimaru, it's my favorite member of the Mijumaru line. I also liked how they all wore scarves, reminded me of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. They all looked very professional yet cute. Also nice to see N's power once more and his being able to explore different dynamics between different trainers of the world. That strife between him and Hiroto was enjoyable as a subplot.

Even though the two aren't related in the slightest this episode really makes me wanna play Pokemon:Gate to Infinity.

Like I predicted, this was just a typical filler. I didn't expect great things from it, but I was surprised that Oshawott got to appear; then again, was he "inspired" to evolve after seeing Dewott like so many people predicted? I don't think so. But at least he got to do something. Anyway, I didn't like the character of the day or the Pokemon of the day for that matter because once again, I couldn't relate to either of them. I also wasn't a fan of seeing Team Rocket here; they were just sort of there for no apparent reason, but as always they ended up making things worse for Ash and friends. Most importantly, I'm curious to know why the setting was called the Gulf Coast. Was it ever clarified?

I wasn't expecting a lot from this episode, but I thought it ended up being pretty good. If things go where I suspect they're going, this was some good foreshadowing for N, and it they don't, it was still pretty good character development and showcased his abilities to talk to Pokemon well. I liked the COTD and his Watchog, which was a nice little subplot that didn't go longer than needed. And thought Team Rocket was good and I'm glad they're mixing up they're Pokemon. I do hope Woobat evolves to even out the evolution between Jessie and James.

Other than maybe the Flocessey Ranch one, which I didn't even hate that much, I've liked pretty much every episode in this arc. If they stay on track with the conclusion then I'll like it a lot.

This kind of fillers is what keeps me coming back to watch the anime, of all the episodes I have seen in the anime (I seen all by now) this one, is one my top 3 favorites.

I really love Watchog's facial expressions throughout the episode, some made laugh, frustrate, and a few emotionally sad (just wanted to go through the screen and comfort it), at times proud to be a Watchog fan. I also loved Dewott's expressions, he is my #4 favorite. Just wished that more fillers (like this one) had more of my favorite Pokemon in them.

This episode was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be. Just...no words for muscle-Watchog. And Dewott was so cute.

Team Rocket didn't blast off this time. Awesome.

So many times where the camera would just pan to N staring. It was weird. He's stilll the odd man out in the group, but it's nice to see him traveling with them.

I imagine the reason N kept getting his shots in this episode were because he doesn't agree with using Pokemon the way Hirito used them. And it seemed like this episode actually served as a means of development for N, realizing Pokemon can work along side humans to help deal with crises like the one that happened in this episode. At least that's what I assumed happened.

70% of the Serebii population uses ultra powerful legendaries(also known as ubers) in their teams.
If you are one of the 30% that thinks outside the box
and doesn't use ubers, copy and paste this into your signature! (^started by SapphireL!)

A pretty standard episode which I enjoyed but there are two things of note:

- Team Rocket got their motto right this episode!

- I think we are now seeing N questioning the foundations of his beliefs concerning Pokémon. He is trying so hard to stay faithful to his beliefs but after seeing Pokémon wanting to save other Pokémon and people alike and then this is on top of the battles he experienced in the previous episodes which started this whole rethink, I am now really interested in the way this develops.

Anyway, good episode and on to the next one! I have been waiting to see this one for ages!

Loves every part of pokemon, loves the movies, the anime and every game, so you could call me fan lol.
